Salsa Music - 500 words
Salsa Music Salsa Music a popular genre of Latin
American music. Since its emergence in the
mid-1960s, salsa has achieved worldwide
popularity, attracting performers and audiences
not only in Latin American communities but also in
such non-Latin countries as Japan and Sweden. In
terms of style and structure, salsa is a
reinterpretation and modernization of Cuban
dance-music styles. It emerged around 1900 as an
urban, popular dance-music style in Cuba. It
derived some features from Hispanic music,
including its harmonies and the use of the guitar
and a similar instrument called the tres. To
these, it added characteristics of the rumba, a
style of dance music with Afro-Cuban origins.

Salt And Iron Debate During The Han Dynasty - 513 words
Salt and Iron debate during the Han dynasty Salt
and Iron debate during the Han dynasty Emperor
Wu-ti began his reign in 140 BC. During its early
years he was under the moderating influence of
relatives and court officials; however, by the
late 130s he had decided that the essentially
defensive foreign policy of his predecessors was
not going to solve his foreign problems. In 133 he
launched attacks on the nomadic Hsiung-nu people,
who constituted China's principal threat on the
northern frontier, and thereafter he committed his
realm to the expansion of the empire. By 101
Wu-ti's troops, spurred by an emperor heedless of
their hardships and intolerant of defeat, had
extended Chinese control ...

Salvador Dali - 393 words
Salvador Dali Salvador Dali was born on May 11,
1904. He was a leader in the new movement of art
in the early 20th century called Surrealism. In
1921 Dali studied at the San Fernando Acadamy of
Fine Arts in Madrid. Here he was able to associate
and learn from such Spanish modernists as Fedrico
Garcia Lorca, and Luis Bundel. He also was
influenced by Italian futurists and the
metaphysical paintings of Giorgio de Chirico. In
his early works, however, Dali gave credit to his
own Catalan sense of fantasy and his megalomania
as being his true motivating forces. Dali left the
San Fernando Acadamy of Fine Arts in 1926, and
move to Paris where he frequented the Cafe Cyrano,
which was the Oheadquarte ...

Salvia Divinorum Salvia How To Smoke Salvia
Divinorum by MSSAfter numerous attempts I finally
came upon what I call the Secret of Smoked Salvia
divinorum. I will not discuss the subjective
effects except in a limited sense, but what I do
wish to discuss is how one might better feel these
effects. First find a comfortable position,
preferably sitting down in a quiet environment.
Load a water pipe with a full hit of Salvia, light
and inhale as deeply, and hold as long, as
possible. A water pipe is the only tool effective
for me due to its ability to cool the smoke and
allow for large volumes to be inhaled easily.
While holding in the hit it may be advantageous to
poke out the left over ash/fol ...

Sam Adams - 1,124 words
Sam Adams Every so often, a man of true passion is
born. A man exceedingly dedicated to his
principles, and very firm in his beliefs. Samuel
Adams was such a man. Adams was a patriot, and one
of the more influential men in the colonies.
However, even as a patriot, he did not support the
Constitution. How could such a patriot be an
anti-federalist? Once again, it all comes down to
an issue of beliefs. Samuel Adams was born on
September 27, 1722. He was the son of a successful
merchant and malter. As a boy, he attended Boston
Grammar School. In 1736 he decided to enter
Harvard. It was here that he became active in
colonial politics. He joined such clubs as the
Caucus Club, which was influentia ...

the current educational system is not the
teachers, principals, supplies, or budgets [Though
the latter two create problems unique to the
situation]. The problem with the current education

Sam Shepards American Siblings - 1,291 words
Sam Shepard's American Siblings True West is an
intense dramatization of the relationship between
two brothers: Lee and Austin. As each scene
progresses, the brothers rivalry and animosity
towards each other become more and more apparent,
building towards a single emotionally involving
climax. Throughout the play, the characters
undergo subtle changes as each brother
subconsciously attempts to absorb the part of the
other brothers life which he feels might complete
him. This role reversal is the pivotal instrument
in which Sam Sheppard shows the intensity of
sibling rivalry. The play starts en medea res. Lee
and Austin have not talked to each other in some

Zarathustra, as his character within his
philosophy. The way Plato used Socrates, Nietzsche
used Zarathustras mouth to speak his philosophy.
An example, how Nietzsche uses Zarathustra in his
book is in the chapter entitled On the Tree on
the Mountain. Within this chapter, the story
represents certain aspects that are important to
Zarathustra (Nietzsche). The chapter begins, with
Zarathustra noticing that a youth was avoiding
him, but later encounters him in the mountains.

Same Couple Marriage - 898 words
Same Couple Marriage The institution of marriage
has been around for many years. Times have changed
and society has grown as a whole. The United
States has laws that prohibit same-sex marriages
or do not grant them the same privileges as
"traditional" marriages. You will see how behind
this great nation has remained. As many countries
around the world explore less traditional ways of
life, the United States has been left in the dust.
In the United States of America laws require that
we be treated as equals. Unfortunately, this does
not apply to the laws of same-sex marriages. How
can a country that praises itself on freedom,
equal rights, and the pursuits of happiness not
allow someone to ma ...

Same Sex Marriage - 961 words
Same Sex Marriage How do most couples show the
world that they are in a loving, devoted,
committed relationship? How does one express that
they want to spend the rest of their life with one
particular person? This is normally done through a
marriage, celebrated by a wedding, certified by a
marriage license. Homosexuals are human; therefore
they are capable of loving another person just as
any heterosexual human. Yet, homosexuals are
unable to obtain a marriage license anywhere in
this country at this time. This needs to be
changed; same-sex marriages should be legal in the
United States of America. According to the
Constitution, marriage is a civil right that all
Americans are born with. Our ...

Same Sex Marriage - 2,065 words
Same - Sex Marriage INTRODUCTION: The institution
of marriage is highly respected and holds great
sentimental value for most societies. However, not
all couples are afforded the right to be legally
recognized as a married couple. Couples of the
same-sex are denied the right to have their
marriages be legal in the eyes of the law.
Same-sex marriage is an important issue because it
deals with a relatively large minority of the
United States. Gays and lesbians are rumored to be
about ten percent of today's population. I am just
one of the many that fit into this contested
minority group. Some people in society feel that I
should never be given the opportunity to benefit
from a marriage, as an o ...

congress has the right to define the effect in
which one state's laws act upon another state
(Kersch, 1996). This is not meant to take away all
of the state's rights, just that the state has to
present reasons why it will not accept another

Full Faith and Credit Clause. The normal rule for
interstate marriage is to uphold the marriage as
long as it is valid where it was originally
celebrated (Kersch, 1996). The Full Faith and

Same Sex Marriage Society does not accept same sex
marriges. There are various reasons for this. Many
people feel that same sex marriges are not
natural, and go against religious beliefs. Some
people may be homophobic feel that gays and
lesbians do not deserve to be united legally on
paper, or under the blessings of God. Homosexuals
want to marry for the same reason that
heterosexuals have and there should be no reason
why they are not allowed to. Marriage is much more
than merely a commitment to love one another.
Aside from societal and religious conventions,

Same Sex Marriages One day, Tom, a six-year-old

isolated. It's bad enough that he had no mother to

his life. Tom was so ostracized, shattered, and
disturbed that he slashed his wrists. Tom's life
had changed when his father became gay and started
living with a man. Tom could not take the shame.
At school he was picked on, made fun of, and
rejected. This is one example of the effects of
gay marriage. Over time, may states have been
